The act says: "vVhere as the river Waccamaw renders it frequently impossible to pass to the court house of Brunswick without imminent danger, the part of Blad en and of Brunswick beginning at Waccamaw river where the line be tween South Carolina and North Carolina crosses it, thence up to White Marsh branch thence up the same to the western prong and to the end of it, thence in a direct line to Rough Horn creek and from it to Drowning creek and down the latter to the state line." Isaac Pow ell and John Wingate of Columbus and Michael Claudy of Bladen were appointed to run the dividing line. The name of Christopher Colum bus was given the county. The coun ty seat was named in honor of its first state senator, James B. White. The General Assembly in the act creating the county directed John Wingate, Shadrach Wooten. James B. White, Salem Reaves, Absolom Powell, Thomas Frink and James Stephens to fix on the site for the court house and jail, but until the latter were ready, it was ordered that the courts should be held at Stephens Barfield's house. The same commissioners were di rected by the Assembly to provide for the erection of the court house and jail, a tax of three shillings on the poll and one shilling on every 100 acres of land was levied to pay the cost. The buildings, of wood, were completed in 1809, and used until 1852, when brick ones re placed them. In 1981 a spacious and handsome court house was built. The will books and county court minutes do not begin until 1818, the deed books in 1810. The first state senator was James B. White and representative Wynn Nance and Thomas Frink (1809). Its delegates to state constitutional conventions have been Alexander Troy, Absolom Powell (1835); Rich ard Wooten (1861) ; A. J. Jones (1865); Hayes Lennon (1868); For ney George (1875.) Col. Fred A. Olds, in Orphans Friend. Six million pounds of fish were caught in New York in addition to those who bought "blue sky" securities.

C I I To Our Good Friends of Whiteville and of Columbus County: Just a word to-say that everyone in Wil mington cordially and sincerely invites you "to come see us" whenever you will. We prize your friendship and through any service we may render you in 1924, hope to further cement same. When here, make our rooms your head quarters. We will be delighted for you to use our telephones, to come in and write letters, or to have your packages sent for safe-keeping until you may be ready to return home. In all friendship, we are, yours for service, Wilmington Chamber of Commerce Teldphone-131, . . Home Bank Building R HE story of Studebaker has been told by many men in many ways. Now let us tell it to you. Studebaker growth has in late years been Motordom's sensation. Sales have mounted until last year 145,000 buyers of quality cars se lected Studebakers. They paid over $200,000,000 for them. All must realize that a new situa tion has arisen in high-grade cars. You who are interested should now aralyze the reasons. 72-year traditions The Studebaker principles have be come traditions in their 72 years of existence. They have never wavered. In all changing conditions they have brought new luster to that name. Men come and go, but a name like this becomes a heritage to foster and en hance. That's what we've done we who have that name in keeping for a time. What others say not what you say determines your place in the long run. In every field of endeavor one must accept that fact. We had the money, the plants, the prestige. We had the incentive of Studebaker traditions. In time we secured the men. We told those men to build for us the utmost in fine motor cars, regard less of all costs. We pledged them our good faith and our resources. The cost was $50,000,000 We built new factories modern plants. We fitted them with new equipment 12,500 up-to-date ma- Find Out Why Studebaker has always been a leader. For two gen erations it led in horse drawn vehicles, now prod ucts of the past. Most of you remember Studebaker carriages queens of their time. They were used by multitude., of people who loved quality and style. . When motor cars succeeded them, Studebaker became the logical leader in that field. Any other place would have been an anomaly. The only way to the top A concern of this age has one fact ingrafted in its fiber. Theonly way to leadership is through super service. The leader must excel in all you seek in quality, in beauty and in value. There is no other way to the top. Every stretch of the road is strewn with wrecks of those who tried another. People paid over $200,000,000 last year for Studebaker cars. The result is now a demand for 150,000 per year. Over $50,000,000 in modern plants and equipment to build the finest of fine cars. One of these cars, built in 1918, has run 475,000 miles. That means 80 years of ordinary service. In December this car made the trip from coast to coast. 15 to conform to those standards exactly. We invested $8,000,000 in a drop forge plant to make all our own drop forgings. $10,000,000 in body plants, to build all bodies to our standards. We employed 1,200 skilled inspec tors to see that ail standards were fulfilled. There are 30,000 inspec tions on Studebaker cars during manufacture, before they go out from the factory. That's the whole story That's about the whole story. We simply followed the never-changing Studebaker principles. We gave to our buyers the utmost values they could not match. Then they turned by tens of thousands to Studebaker cars. Over 750,000 of those cars have gone out. Their per formance has developed a demand for 150,000 per year. Every increase in sales brought a lowered cost, which we promptly gave our buyers. Today these fine cars are offering values which no rival can approach. They have made us the world's largest builders of quality cars. chines. Of the C-2,OGO;000 in our plants and equipment, $32,000,000 has been invested in the past five years. So it represents the last word i: efficient manufacture. We established a Department of Methods and Standards, to fix for every Studebaker detail the maxi mum of quality. We created a Bureau of Research and Experiment, employing 125 skilled men. They make -00,000 tests p-.-.r year tc maintain our supremacy. They fixed countless r.ar.dards, including ,5 separate formulas fcr KU-eL-' Tiii; on t-'e most important steels ve offered ma'rers a bonus of We deserve a hearing Now we deserve a hear ing. All who consider a car at $1,000 or over should learn what Studebaker offers. That in fairness to yourself and us. Check one by one the advan tages we offer. You'll find them by the score. Remember that 145,000 who did that last year chose a Studebaker car. There are nine chances in ten that you'll do it. Consider our record, our accom plishments, our policies and princi ples. Consider that we have $90, 000,000 at stake on satisfying men like you. Don't buy a car in this high-grade class without seeing what we give.
